The comfort after pain is the easiest thing for people to lose guard. The joyful emotions filled Shen Lian's heart, and the spiritual power gushing out from his steps on the golden road made him almost feel like an immortal.
It seems that the great perfection, great freedom, and great freedom after attaining enlightenment are nothing more than that.
Immortal music sounded in the sky, and suddenly the trees on both sides were covered with golden flowers, like the ocean. The flowers on the branches were swaying in the wind, as if countless beautiful goddesses were waving to Shen Lian.
At the most touching moment of all the beautiful scenery, the gold ignited a huge fire, burning together with the flowers and trees, and the unknown fairy music in the air became a drum that fueled the fire, making the flames all over Shen Lian become more intense.
The flames burned Shen Lian's clean Taoist robes, and finally curled up his long hair, burned off his eyebrows, and the skin and flesh were ripped open. The smell turned into a smell of burnt flesh, which made people sick.
Shen Lian remained calm and walked through the sea of fire, with a smile on his face and full of confidence.
There is no end in sight to the road, no end in sight to the sea of fire, but Shen Lian still moves forward, seemingly not worried that this road will never end.
Finally, a black true light emerged from Shen Lian's body and rolled into the sea of fire. Immediately, heavy rain poured down from the sky. The vast water flooded the sea of fire in just an instant, and there was no more flames.
The black true light rolled up from the ground and finally returned to Shen Lian's body.
With the combination of water and fire, his complexion was much rosier than when he arrived.
Shen Lian used water to control fire, and absorbed the infinite fire energy to replenish himself, but he was not very proud.
There was still misty mist in front of him, and suddenly the mist condensed suddenly, like a flash of lightning in the sky, and finally formed a sword glow. I could only see that there was infinite Yin Qi here, and the sword glow was like jasper from other mountains, as if water was flowing through it, and it was extremely clear. , and finally stabbed in the air.
The piercing sword contained the aura of killing. When the air broke through, the space became still and silent. Shen Lian knew clearly that this sword was real. If he was stabbed, there was no way he would be spared.
He suddenly stood still, and a phantom of the Tianhe suddenly emerged above his head. This was transformed by his soul. Using the Tianhe Sword Technique with the Destroying Divine Sword was his last resort, but he couldn't care about so much at the moment.
This sword energy was truly terrifying, and the murderous aura within it was enough to be felt by his spiritual sense in an instant. It was even more powerful than the sword energy given by Patriarch Zhu Yuanqing.
Space becomes thin paper in front of the sword energy, which can be punctured at will, and time has lost its meaning here.
Although it is the condensation of Yin Qi, there is a Taoist charm in it that makes all the gods and Buddhas fall, and it has existed since ancient times.
The phantom of Tianhe collided with the sword energy. The originally eternal Tianhe was almost shattered by the sword energy, making it vulnerable to a single blow.
Shen Lian's soul had turned into a phantom in the Tianhe, and it was difficult for him to feel shocked. However, at the moment when his soul was about to be shattered, the sword energy and his soul suddenly began to blend in. The sword energy of the Tianhe became the sword in the sword energy. With the help of his will, Patriarch Yuantu's sword intention immediately converged and hid in a corner of Shen Lian's soul after it came into contact with this sword energy.
The sword energy blended into the depths of his soul and flowed together with the phantom of the Tianhe River. At the same time, Shen Lian's heart emerged with the nameless god's ethereal figure in "Shangqing Lingbao's True Solution to Naturally Locking the Heart and Concentrating the Mind". After the sword energy was injected, It's a little solid, but still not clear.
Finally returning to reality, Shen Lian saw the true appearance of Damingwang Temple, which shocked him greatly.
Because this ancient temple was actually split into two by a sword mark that cut deeply through it, the plaque of Myoohji Temple became dim and dull, losing the power of Buddhism.
Shen Lian couldn't believe what kind of peerless swordsman he was, who had just broken through the restrictions of Kaimingo Temple with one sword and split the entire temple into two. You must know that this is the Holy Land of Buddhism, one of the oldest sects in the world.
At the same time, I was deeply confused. The traces of the fight when I went up the mountain were obviously not caused by the person who drew the sword. Otherwise, they should be sword marks, not caused by some peerless force.
There must have been at least two great powers here. The one who caused the rocks to collapse before was one great power, and the one who drew the sword was another great power. The two are definitely not the same person, because Shen Lian can see that this sword mark shows the peerless swordsmanship, which is difficult to achieve unless a cultivator is extremely sharp.
And that unparalleled power is also the way to conquer ten societies with one force. The two are completely opposite and difficult to mix into one.
If both were done by the same person, it would be too terrifying and beyond Shen Lian's knowledge.
What's more, just the remaining sword energy from the sword mark almost caused Shen Lian to be seriously injured and fell into an irreversible situation. Although most of his cultivation was forced out to seal the supreme heart curse, it was enough to prove that the owner of the sword mark It's terrifying, even far worse than ordinary earthly immortals.
Mingwang Temple exuded a sense of deathly silence. Even if Shen Lian didn't go in, he could still imagine the broken walls and ruins inside, and even the remains of many monks' bodies.
He came here to seek Buddhist teachings, but he didn't expect that Buddhist teachings could not protect the monks from Mingwang Temple.
"Isn't it a little surprising? Venerable Huike has learned the true meaning of Kassapa's sword technique. He can cut rivers with one strike of his sword. Even the famous nine-headed demon king is no match for him. However, this time he was injured by someone's sword. It is unimaginable to escape into the depths of the underworld." The voice sounded like running water, falling into Shen Lian's ears.
Turning around and looking, he saw someone not far away dressed in white, sitting on a blood-colored throne. The void was frozen and the wind could not move. His deep eyes fell on Shen Lian, causing ripples. It was always difficult to hide the faint smile in it.
When he smiled, Shen Lian also laughed.
The ancients said it was like meeting an old friend in a foreign land, but now he didn't know if this was the case.
Shen Lian stood up and reached the air. The dark wind whistled past his ears miserably, but his voice was not blocked. He said faintly and quietly: "Brother Ye, I haven't seen you for many years."
Ye Liuyun looked up at Shen Lian. Shen Lian's appearance had not changed much as it was more than 20 years ago. He was able to control the wind with his own hands, and he really looked like a fairy. But in the end, he just nodded.
Then Ye Liuyun turned his head and looked at the sword mark, seeming to still be recalling the sword energy in it.
The sword mark has lost its essence, and the traces left behind today are more of a reminder of the great achievements of its master. He whispered: "Brother Shen is very mysterious. Why can you absorb the immortal sword energy? I'm very curious."
Shen Lian knew that he was the one who absorbed the sword energy, rather than Tianhe Xuying blocking the sword energy. As for the reason, he could not explain clearly.
Shen Lian said calmly: "I am confused about this myself, but I do know something about it, but I can't tell Brother Ye. Please forgive me."
He doesn't plan to tell anyone about "Shangqing Lingbao's True Solution to Naturally Locking the Heart and Concentrating the Mind" at the moment.
